Summary

For patients with Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy, the current management includes identification of the causative food and avoidance. Egg allergy is among the most common causes of IgE-mediated food allergy in children, affecting approximately 1.6% of children (its prevalence is higher in children with atopic dermatitis or other food allergies). Given the prevalence of egg and the difficulty to avoid it in the diet, we aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of baked egg oral immunotherapy.
